Soybeans are for Kids

That is… soybean profits. Monsanto‘s Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans weren’t only a hit with the adults. The ag company’s mobile greenhouse unit seemed to intrigue the kids at the 2008 Michigan Ag Expo just as much, if not more. I mean, what spells out curiosity more than ear-to-ear grins and hands splayed on the glass and noses just centimeters from being smashed up against it?

You can’t help but wonder if these little kids are getting some big ideas on the “potential profits” Monsanto says its Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans will offer farmers and growers. While parents are thinking soybeans might offer some cushion in the pocketbook, I have a hunch the kiddies are thinking “not so fast!”
